Ahoy there, I'm Captain Ron and I have a special invitation for you. It's time to swap your winter coats for swim suits, and your snow boots for bare feet. This year, we're taking our Christmas celebrations to the high seas, aboard the magnificent Florette, our traditional tall ship.
Here's a taste of what we've got planned:
- Traditional Tall Ship Sailing: Feel the thrill of the wind in your sails as you navigate through the turquoise Caribbean waters.
- Hands-on Sailing Experience: Become part of the crew, learn how to hoist the sails, steer the ship, and more.
- Caribbean Island Hopping: Discover the unique charm of each island, from the bustling markets of Barbados to the tranquil beaches of Martinique.
- Swimming & Snorkelling: Dive into a world of vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish.
- Kayaks & SUP’s: Paddle around serene bays and explore hidden coves.
Our sailing adventure begins on the 22nd of December 2023 in Bridgetown, Barbados. From there, we'll set sail for the stunning islands of St Vincent and The Grenadines. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning to the sound of waves gently lapping against the hull, and the smell of salt in the air. We'll spend the day exploring the island, perhaps even finding a secluded beach where we can enjoy our Christmas lunch.
Next, we'll head to Bequia, known for its breathtaking beaches and warm, friendly locals1. Here, we'll celebrate Boxing Day with a beach barbecue under the stars.
Our final stop before we disembark at Pointe du Bout, Martinique on the 2nd of January 2024, is the beautiful island of St Lucia. Famous for its twin volcanic peaks, the Pitons, this island is a true tropical paradise.
So, whether you're a solo traveller, a couple, a family, or a group of friends, join us for a Christmas adventure like no other. Swap your traditional white Christmas for a golden one, filled with sunshine, sea breezes, and unforgettable experiences.
